Books have always been judged by their covers. In a bookstore you look at the cover first, then turn over the book to read the back cover. Or maybe you next read the inside front and back flap covers of a hardcover book.
Now, though, many of us judge a book by first seeing it on the Internet — even if we ultimately buy the book in a bookstore using a 30% off coupon.
And on the Internet, especially on Amazon, the book cover is a tiny thing. And, yes, many books on Amazon… Continue

Saturday was Animal Kingdom day at Disney for us. The best part was that the trip was great for my figure. I must have lost a few pounds in the scorching heat! So what does one do when it’s so blistering hot? What else, you get a crispy funnel cake sprinkled with powdered sugar and enjoy it to the fullest.
I know, I know, crazy…but sometimes we need to do nutty things. We munched on that sweet treat and headed to the bird show.
“Okay, everybody,” the bird trainer said.… Continue

As a child, my family lived next door to a family who had a little girl around my age. I was elated! A “built-in best friend” was as close as 20 paces away! To my delight, our bedroom windows faced each other which allowed us to talk even though we were both at home!
We’ve all been there…either you tour one of the apartment homes or you go house-hunting and see the “perfect home” for you or your family. Then you run, not walk to pay the deposit, earnest money, whatever is required to secure the home of your dreams. Everything appears to be all that you imagined and more. As…Continue
As anybody who has read me reviews interviews or heard my comments on either my own radio program or where I have been a guest, you will know I am a great believer in what I call the "Small Blogger". These are the people who read, write and live books are "The 'sham wow' of Teen/YA literature".
A few years ago if anyone had told me that I would be coordinating a tour of christian fiction and non-ficiton authors I would have probably laughed. Like Sarah in the Bible, I would have thought about my limited resources and all of the other lacks in my life, and I would have doubted such a possibility.
Well, here I am in 2009 having the time of my life coordinating Voices of…

How sweet melodies,
arcane messengers,
fly in the sky your words.
They run in the air light,
they cross endless spaces,
boundless blue seas,
they penetrate in my veins,
they flow slow in my blood,
they reach the sure landing of my heart,
where they will stay graven for the eternity.

If you live in an area where winter cold brings ice and snow onto our lakes andponds,you think of the fun of ice skating, ice fishing, ice hockey and the feeling you get walking across a frozen pond.
